Instrumentarium unveils positioner

Mammography vendor InstrumentariumImaging will debut a new positioning device at this year's RSNAmeeting. The company's Eklund positioning system (EPS) allowsmammographers to take advantage of the mobile portions of thebreast by moving the x-ray tube and film holder as a unit so thefilm holder moves against the lateral margin of the breast. Doingso increases the amount of breast tissue that can be imaged withoutadded discomfort, according to the company.
Instrumentarium, of Milwaukee, developed EPS with Dr. BillEklund, medical director of the Susan G. Komen Breast Center atSt. Francis Medical Center in Peoria, IL. EPS attaches to allnew Instrumentarium Alpha systems. Alpha devices in the fieldcan be upgraded to accommodate EPS.
MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
